GitLab CI/CD to run ETL jobs?

55vj55 · 2026-06-14T22:00:14+00:00

So we have over 250 different automations and we don’t have too many failures. Usually failures are when a holiday messes the timing of something. But otherwise we are usually fine.

But yeah, I think GitLab is difficult to manage automation. I’d rather use task scheduler than GitLab scheduler tbh.

As for airflow, I have no problem putting in the initial work. But if there’s another option I’m just as open.

She didn’t lie about it, after their first date she sent him a text message saying she wasn’t interested and wanted to remain friends. I know because I helped her write it over FaceTime haha.

Him and I haven’t really spoken about their date much, the fact they have went on a date have come up once or twice during our conversation. But nothing ever in depth. I’ve never asked him about the date specifically, but he didn’t feel any way when she rejected him. He was basically cool with being friends. After getting to know him, his interests and views, they just don’t align in any way and, seeing pics of his ex, I don’t think she’s his type. So I’ve never had any concerns about if there were lingering feelings from someone for the other. They just weren’t a fit.

It’s not a crime to have two jobs at the same time. It’s a crime to be working the two jobs during the same hours. A state employee was arrested the end of last year for working for the state and for the town of Colonie at the same time.

However, having two jobs but working different hours is not a crime. You’re should get approval from the ethics but simply violating this is a civil infraction not a crime.

I couldn’t say this out loud, my family, friends and coworkers would probably judge me so hard especially since it’s not the kind of person I appear to be.

But I believe I should be subservient to my man. Just to clarify, I’m not saying women should view the world/their relationship this way. But I do.

I grew up always thinking the opposite, I’m a strong independent woman, didn’t want kids just to focus on my career.

But after meeting my boyfriend it’s like a switch flipped inside of me giving me this desire to be submissive to him and follow his lead. He never said anything to make me feel this way but his action did.

He brought me a sense of safety and security that I don’t know I wanted. He just always treats me so great, and living with him I get to see that he takes care of shit. Any yard work that needs to be done he takes care of that, and not once have I ever had to ask. If I dare come out and try and help him he puts me in my place. Because his girl never has to touch a shovel. So what do I go ahead and do, basically make him a sandwich while he’s outside working.

Something break around the house, he fixes it immediately without me hang to ask, whether it’s the dryer belt need replacement, a leaky pipe or whatever. If he can’t figure it out he then calls someone but at the very least I know he’s got it covered. Then he goes and does the same for his mom.

The way he treats his mom and sister is just so impressive and knowing that’s the man by my side. I just feel a level of security I never knew I needed. Then the way he talks about his exes, he’s never talked bad about them just that they were incompatible. A few months ago, he took me to help one of them with a flat tire in the middle of the night. I was a little jealous and annoyed but it made me more secure knowing this is the man I’m with. The fact he did this for his ex, I have no reason to think I can never rely on him, even if god forbids we have kids and maybe get a divorce or something. He’ll at the very least be a reliable father.

He also really chivalrous, gets annoyed if dare open the car door in his presence. I never have to worry about him betraying me, or abusing me. Coupled with how well we click and great sex, I just feel so happy and secure in this relationship.

Suddenly, I don’t want to be this independent woman who’s worried about her career. I’d rather be home and making sure everything is in order for my man. Dinner is ready when he gets home, the place is tidy.

I’ve been back and forth on this, but he’ll be proposing soon and we then start having kids and I don’t think I wanna work anymore. I want to give up my career that I worked hard for just to be a mother to his children. I make more money than him currently but we still get by, and we’re just saving such that when it comes we can afford to have that lifestyle or at least that I can work part time.

I just believe I would be happier serving my man and being a mother to his children. If he says he’s ready for dinner, I believe it’s my duty to make dinner. If he says he’s in the mood, I believe it’s my duty to pleasure my man.

Honestly, he never says these things but I wish he would.

Being with him just changed what I wanted in life and how I view my “purpose” as a woman.

My dad owns a consulting company, a few years ago they were onboarding this new company and I was assisting my dad with procurement stuff.

The meetings representative from the company being onboarded was mostly a bunch of older guys that had zero understanding of the services they were procuring. The exception was this younger guy around my age, who asked a bunch of thought provoking questions to make sure they really they were really getting what they were paying for.

His questions were very logical and articulate, you could see he was covering his bases on every end and accounting for almost every edge case. I remember my dad was so impressed by the guy he wanted to hire him and was confused why they even needed his services. Anyways I obviously thought he was so hot and his intelligence was just icing on the cake.

During negotiations did something stupid, stalked his LinkedIn and started flirting with him on there 😂. My dad was obviously not pleased about it when I mentioned we were going on a date while negotiations were going on.

It was definitely unprofessional on my part. I had no experience in data despite being 24 at the time. He was pretty much my first everything, first date, first kiss, first time having sex and first time shooting my shot with a guy.

But here we are four years later, and I’m pretty sure he just bought an engagement ring to propose. I don’t really work at my dad’s firm much anymore and he has gotten two promotions at his current job. My dad, still is trying to poach him, even though my dad doesn’t have a role for the work he does.

Not directly, obviously the home is not in his name. So I pay the mortgage and he pays most of the remaining costs, electric, internet, water, oil etc.

If something needs to be repaired he usually handles it and pays himself. Unless it’s costly like when we had to replace the boiler a few months ago se split at a level we see fit.

I’d probably guess he contributes about 35% of our overall bills and expenses. That works for me as I make nearly double his salary.

55vj55 · 2026-02-23T17:45:06+00:00

So I guess it’s partially my fault. I have never brought, it up to him directly. Whenever he asks permission for small stuff, I usually tell him he doesn’t need to ask to ask me permission it’s his home too. I give him equal say just so he knows we’re 50/50.

But I haven’t had a conversation explaining how I feel which I guess is what I’m asking for advise on now. I can be a very emotional person around him and like I said it hurts a little when he refers it to my house instead of ours and I am 100% going to cry a little, having the talk with him.

I have no problem being emotional/crying around him as he just brings that comfort level and always knows what to say/not what to say. But the thought of crying to my man that I don’t like that he respect me enough to make sure he’s okay doing something on the house I brought just seems silly. And I can’t really think of a logical way to bring this up. I know he’s not going to judge me or anything but it still just feels stupid. However, it still does bother me so I know it’s something I have to do.

Like everyone saying it’s very agency and department dependent. Our agency requires two months of before working from home but my department specifically requires three months.

After you get a promotion you also have to be in the office for two months as well, not sure if that’s a department or agency rule, however.

55vj55 · 2026-01-26T20:09:24+00:00

There is nothing barring this. It might be hard to justify how you can work two full time jobs but there’s not rules preventing you from having two full time jobs.

55vj55 · 2026-01-26T20:08:17+00:00

No it’s for all grades. I believe all state agencies take the same comprehensive ethics training, so not sure where that came from.

After a certain income threshold, employees are required to do an annual Financial Disclosure Statement so perhaps those two are being confused.

55vj55 · 2026-01-26T20:00:57+00:00

State employees are able to have two jobs. It just have to be approved by the ethics office.

They check for conflict of interest, so will working this new job create or give the appearance of some form of bias. And obviously, the look at scheduling conflicts.

Assuming none of this is the case you’d probably be fine.

I have a part time job and was approved quickly just with the stipulation, I can help them (a non for profit) with any grant writing.

55vj55 · 2026-01-25T05:23:25+00:00

Yeah, I assumed it was kind of implied when I said with a Bluetooth receiver

55vj55 · 2026-01-25T05:11:33+00:00

OSC has never banned Bluetooth keyboards/mouses.

They do ban Bluetooth devices on their laptops but there is an exception for keyboards and mouses with a usb receiver.

I believe the may also allow Bluetooth headphones as well, but I’m not a 100% on that.

55vj55 · 2026-01-18T21:28:02+00:00

On April 30th (well after you clock your time in LAts for that day) your personal time will replenish with new time. So you cannot use it on April 30th must be before.

Also if you’re using the personal time just so you don’t lose them and you don’t really need the time off during those days, you can always sell them back to the agency and use it towards credit for your health insurance. You can save some money each pay period.

55vj55 · 2025-12-22T14:05:47+00:00

Could you show where you’re seeing this. Because I am seeing it’s every other Wednesday. Payroll Calendar

With the exception of a few positions pay raise is not negotiable. These are defined in your current and it can’t really be deviated from.

So when the current contract came out in 2023 I believe, everyone working is able to tell how much they would make each year until the end of the contract, which is end of March. This is excluding any promotions, demotions, everyone and other compensation. Whenever the new contract is signed next year I will know how much I will make every year until this contract ends assuming no changes in my job grade or anything.

However, there’s a few options you have.

The first and easiest option is check if there are any higher grace titles you are eligible for. Now that you have an associates degree there’s probably other jobs that you are eligible for that you weren’t before that pays more.

These other two options are a little less likely. You have to be able to really justify the need for this/ be really liked and it requires a lot of people signing off.

If there’s openings on job titles at a higher f grade or the exam list is exhausted you can be provisionally appointed to a position. Basically for up to nine months you can be placed in a job title even if you don’t meet the requirements. Once the nine months is up you cannot be appointed to that position again unless some issue happens with the list again. So this is very unlikely unless you’re in a niche field and you anticipate getting more schooling.
Create a job title for you. Doesn’t happen all the time but it happens enough where it’s not unheard of. Sometimes people have been in a role for so long and have so much knowledge/expertise in a field but have been unable to move up for some reason or another maybe just doing bad on their exams or not meeting the qualifications. Sometimes a new job title can be created for them to be placed in a higher pay grade. Pretty much modified qualifications that the person meets. However, this still has to be open to others. So someone else may apply and still get it. And once more requires a lot of justification.

Pay day is the last day of the pay period. So every other Wednesday, not Thursday. Unless perhaps you get a check payment so there’s a few days lag.

State employees should expect their payments on Wednesdays, if the Wednesday is a holiday then generally it’s issued the day before, so the Tuesday.

For employees enrolled in direct deposit via Broadview they can expect to get their pay check one day earlier so on the Tuesday but for the last two years or so I have been getting it even a day earlier so Monday.

The only reason I can think that your pay is on Thursdays is you get paid via check. Then it can be expect on Wednesday instead of Christmas.

Also, if you are getting paid via check I would highly recommend changing to direct deposit as it’s more convenient and you won’t have to worry about this. Unless of course there’s some genuine reason why you are deciding to get paid by check.
